New leaders in Bulgaria?

On Wednesday around 3,000 anti-government demonstrators, including many students, engaged in violent clashes with the police in front of the parliament buildings in Sofia, calling for the government to resign. The daily Sega writes that the violence was the result of poor organisation. "This is why we need new leaders. But where are they to come from? The action which provoked today's protests was initiated by a totally unknown man who expressed his disgust on his facebook page. Initially his protest failed to gain support, no one took him seriously. [But in the meantime] this young person has unleashed a wave of such force that we have probably not yet experienced its full impact. This is the force of a generation that knows no restrictions or prejudices. And when this generation has had enough it is capable of toppling the government. The positive aspect of this mini-revolution is that it will no doubt bring forth new leaders."
